Joker meets Joker

What a brilliant storyline, bringing mental health into the public eye and allowing people to talk about it more freely. Showing the downfall of a person and the development of an illness; rather than just showing Arthur as a born madman. Arthur never would have transformed into the ‘Joker character’ if it weren’t for his deteriorating mental health, but his mental illness(es) wasn’t entirely responsible for that transformation; it was the loss of purpose that pushed Arthur over the edge. Even the relationships he thought he had were all an illusion. Arthur discovered some awful secrets in his adulthood about his mother; learning that she was a dangerous and hyper delusional narcissist. She also stood by her partner during Arthur's childhood, her partner abusing Arthur - This played a huge part in his troubled mental state.

As an inspiration to my art, here we have the Joker split in two. A battle of persona, a fight for sanity.

The most difficult part of this look was probably trying to write letters on myself in the mirror.
I recorded the whole makeup look, so I will be putting together a tutorial video very soon and launching that over on my Youtube channel. I haven't posted any videos in a while but I have just moved house so now I have some space I am hoping to start filming regularly.

Have you seen the Joker film yet? What do you think of the joker makeup?
